Endothelium consists of a single layer of thin, delicate plate- like nucleated cells united with one another by a small a tint of cement, substance. The cells differ somewhal in shape and size. Thus, those lining the 3erous cavities are polyhedral scales resembling squamous epithelium, t >n the other hand, those lining the bl 1 vessels are long, ir- regular spindles, Receni histological classifica- tion tends toward the placing of endothelium among the epithelial tissues.

ENDOWED SCHOOLS ACTS. .ts of Par linmenl prevent mi of 1 he foundat iona for the support education in England. Ultimately, they have a Ht mi 1 trol 1 individual 1 ifying any abuse w as Ii and ex- 1 ml en- plifj tin- pi idure, In 1840 reports of the Brougham Commission, the chancery courts ere given power to make decrees or orders ex- tending the systems of instruction, and the right of admission to any school, and to estab- lish schemes for the application of its resources, having due regard to the intentions of its founder. In 1S53 a charity commission was . stablished, that should inquire into the con- ditions and management of charities, sanction legal proceedings regarding trusts, and, on the application of trustees, suggest to Parliament new schemes for the appropriation of charitable property. One of its main functions was, of course, to deal with endowed schools. This com- nii-sion was given certain judicial powers in 1860, and about the same time it was provided that schools should be open to children of all denominations except where the foundations re- quired specific denominational instruction. The seven great public boarding schools were dealt with by a separate act in 1S68. and in 18(39, as a result of the report of the Taunton Commis- sion, an endowed schools aid was passed estab- lishing a commission, which should, in the case ..f the other endowed school-, initiate, without wailing for applications, schemes for the reform of courses of instruction. These schemes were to be published, and a certain time was to be allowed for protests and petitions. When the original scheme or a revision thereof was ac- cepted by the council on education and not objected to by Parliament, it was submitted to the Queen in council, on whose approval it became a law. In 1S74 the commission came to an end, and its functions were transferred to the Charity Commission, whose power over endowed .Is had. since I860, been suspended. Their powers have from time to time been renewed, and they have been gradually reorganizing all the endowed schools in England and Wales to which the act applies. It is expected that this work will be completed in 1903. Consult Balfour. The Educational Systems of Great Britain and //./.ni./ 1 London, 1900). See National Edica- 1 ion. Systems of. END YM'ION (l.at., from Gk. 'E»8»/i«).

This love of Selene for Endymion, however, is more commonly connected with another form of the . according to which Endymion was a youth- ful hunter on Mount Latinos, in Caria, and in a cave in thai mountain he sleeps forever, visited nightly by Selene, who has given him this sleep that she may ki^s him unperceived.
